About Google Consent Mode
Turning on “Execute Google Tags Before Consent” activates Advanced Consent Mode. This allows default consent tags to fire as soon as your website loads.
If you turn this option off, Basic mode will be used. In Basic Mode, default consent tags won’t fire until a user interacts with your consent banner. To be compliant with Google Consent Mode (GCM) while using Basic Mode, you need to block third-party cookies by mapping them with the Mandatly custom events using Google Tag Manager.
Learn more about Blocking third-party cookies via GTM.
